In biblical times, the east was often associated with new beginnings and divine intervention. The rising sun is a metaphor for God's faithfulness and the renewal of His mercies each day (<a href="/lamentations/3-22.htm">Lamentations 3:22-23</a>). The east also holds significance in biblical prophecy, as seen in the return of Christ, who is said to come from the east (<a href="/matthew/24-27.htm">Matthew 24:27</a>).<p><b>to where it sets</b><br>This refers to the westernmost point, indicating the end of the day. The setting sun symbolizes completion and the fulfillment of God's promises. In the ancient Near Eastern context, the entire span from east to west represents totality and universality. This phrase emphasizes the omnipresence of God, whose glory and praise extend across the entire earth, from one horizon to the other.<p><b>the name of the LORD is praised</b><br>The "name of the LORD" represents His character, authority, and reputation. In Hebrew culture, a name was more than a label; it conveyed the essence of a person. The LORD's name is worthy of praise because it embodies His holiness, power, and love. This phrase calls for continuous worship and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. It connects to other scriptures that emphasize the importance of God's name, such as <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>, where God reveals Himself as "I AM," and <a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9-11</a>, which speaks of the exaltation of Jesus' name above all names.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, representing the God of Israel, who is worthy of praise at all times and in all places.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_rising_and_setting_of_the_sun.htm">The Rising and Setting of the Sun</a></b><br>This phrase symbolizes the entirety of the day, from morning to evening, and by extension, the whole world, as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to the authorship of the Psalms, the psalmist here is calling for continuous and universal praise of God.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/c/continuous_praise.htm">Continuous Praise</a></b><br>We are called to praise God throughout our day, recognizing His presence and sovereignty in every moment.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/u/universal_worship.htm">Universal Worship</a></b><br>God's worthiness of praise is not limited by geography or time;
